How Mwittmeyer started their logo design journey

Company name

BusinessCards.org

Overview

I am going to launch BusinessCards.org in the next few weeks. The site will sell custom business cards as well as business cards from templates. The site will also have a blog, a regional business card directory, and a business card gallery.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Targeting the English-speaking market right now - primarily the USA and Canada, although the region shouldn't affect the logo at the moment.

Requirements

I want the logo to be fairly clean and emphasize the "BusinessCards.org" text. The ".org" should be fairly evident, as I don't want people to mistake my site for "BusinessCards.com".

Along with the text, I would like a small graphic related to the business card theme (this is where you guys can get creative).

I'm not too picky on colors at the moment, but I'd prefer lighter blue/green, grey, white, or black (although I won't exclude a logo just because it is a different color).

I'd prefer the graphic to be more horizontal than square, as it will be used at the top of a website.
